Jongun getting together for a surprise pow wow not weeks ago my friends, yeah try today these images youre looking at are from today actually just a couple of hours ago the two huddling for more than two hours at the Demilitarized Zone between their two countries and now we dont know who exactly called the meeting we do know it is very likely they were discussing hammering down a much more important meeting that again suddenly potentially on again summit that kim jongun still seems to very much want to have with President Donald Trump it is a good thing were told so many news organizations have refused to cancel their Hotel Reservations for singapore next month. They might be going after all because the summit of the century that critics were just laughing off, yeah, it is seriously looking like it is back on or at least a lot closer to being back on. Wow. Welcome everybody im neil cavuto happy weekend its a good thing weve got this two hour live show on saturday because man oh, man we are all over this one today, with seoualmost, south korea aware the president s surprise and residents by anyone who didnt see this coming and then we got the white house where one particular resident might be very very up on what is going on , and liz cheney from all the way out of wyoming on the historic significance on all of this unholding as it happens where it happens everywhere it happens starting with where it all just happened, greg . Wow. Hey, neil wow indeed and an instant summit a saturday surprise involving south korean president moon and north Korean Leader kim jongun. Now they had met just a month ago along the dmz, this time on the north korean side no warning unannounced as you noted about two hours and well get a full readout on sunday about what was discussed but according to moon office in addition to interkorean issues and this is the real important thing for us, neil there was a frank, candid exchange of views about how to achieve a successful summit being planned between President Trump and north Korean Leader kim. Remember that summit was basically canceled thursday, by the white house following a nasty message from the north and then basically revived on friday following a nice message from the north. Todays meeting is seen by experts here as the clearest signal yet that a june 12 singapore session would be back on this amid also reports were getting that on both sides are heading now towards singapore. Remember south korean president moon met with President Trump on tuesday to advice him. There is some talk here that he was carrying a message from trump to kim but more importantly, its seen that moon has become a real important go between on all of this could be seen today as possibly trying to further get some kind of a commitment from kim jongun regarding denuclearization and remember, it has been a crazy week, neil. Just thursday we saw what the north claimed was a dismantle ment of its one known Nuclear Test Site in the northeastern part of the country and that was seen as a goodwill gesture but there were no experts no analysts there no real confirmation of the claims. Today though real confirmation, neil. A meeting between the two sides and they do look quite lovey dov ey, with handshakes, smiles and hugs and lets see if the love fest turns into something more concrete maybe that summit between President Trump and kim jongun. Neil . Neil surprise surprise greg thank you my friend. All right to the white house, el eson barber on what the president might be doing right now, and whether talks to be back on. What are you hearing . Reporter neil well before President Trump canceled the summit two white house officials told fox news that a group of Top Administration officials were headed to sing a for this weekend to sort out some of the logistics for this meeting. A White House Press secretary Sarah Sanders was asked about that yesterday and she said regardless of when this meeting might take place or if it takes place, the administration will be ready. Certainly its a possibility again the president wants to have a meeting if it can provide real results and thats what he said all along. Were always going to be prepared and if the meeting takes place on june 12 well be ready and if it takes place on july 12 well be ready. Reporter President Trump tweet ing were having very productive talks with north korea about reinstating the summit which if it does happen will likely remain in singapore on the same date june 12 and if necessary will be extended beyond that date. The president canceled a summit thursday morning after a Senior North Korean official made statements threatening a nuclear show down calling Vice President mike pence stupid but as quickly as the meeting collapse the and died life went back into it with north koreas vice foreign min its r saying they were still open to talks, President Trump called vice foreign minister wan s statement productive. President trump were talking to them now. They very much want to do it. Wed like to do it. Were going to see what happens. Reporter when it comes to all of the back and forth statements President Trump didnt seem particularly phased by it telling reporters, everyone plays games. Neil . Neil ellison barber thank you very very much. All right lets go to House Armed Services Committee Member and republican congresswoman liz cheney daughter of dick cheney and so much more. Congresswoman very good to have you what do you make of the sudden turn of events here . Well, thank you, neil great to be with you. Look i think the North Koreans have been playing this same game essentially for decades now, and weve seen them do this where they make promises they make threats they pocket concessions and then they continue the development of their Nuclear Program and in particular, you seen them do this in order to get access to foreign aid which they really are dependent upon foreign economic assistance, Foreign Trade from nations like china in particular, and so weve got to be very very cautious and very careful that we dont go down the same path unfortunately that weve seen too many administrations previously go down. Neil you know there is that verified within ronald regan made famous but how do you verify whatever the north korean s are doing . Right and thats why i think weve got to be absolutely clear that theres no way that we are going to be able in my view to talk the North Koreans out of their Nuclear Weapons program but what i think we ought to be doing is putting together a very aggressive, very strong pressure campaign, from an economic perspective. We ought to be absolutely clear we should be talking to nations around the world telling them to close the north Korean Embassy telling them to close the north korean trade missions and we ought to increase our intelligence capabilities so we can have a better sense of what theyre doing from an illicit perspective from wmd trade and other areas and we ought to make sure the chinese and the russian s know theyve got to make a choice that if they continue to do business with the North Koreans if they continue not to enforce International Sanctions then they are running the risk of not having access to our Financial Markets and our financial systems, so theres a lot we can do from an economic perspective, contrary to sort of the conventional wisdom out there but weve got to be clear about getting it donald it does not involve concessions to the North Koreans right now economic ally to get them to the table. Neil you know, obviously they have a different view of that, congresswoman, of this idea that the United States is going to be sort of like a sugar daddy to help them, but isnt that a role that china should be buying and is not, so what is the deal with them . Yeah, absolutely. Look, the North Koreans if you just go back through history and look at whats happened to their economy they really are on the b rink of potential famine for example, if foreign inflows of cash stop. Obviously the chinese are the biggest violate or there, the chinese is their biggest economic partner and the chinese have to understand, you know, that we are not in a position as a nation to be able to put up with north korea armed with Nuclear Weapons that can hold our cities hostage and that we wont allow that to happen so the chinese will have to make a choice. Now if they feel they can play games with us, then they wont make that choice. Theyll continue to help the North Koreans continue to make things uncomfortable for us and possibly risk our security but if they know their access to our Financial Markets is threatened that will, i would imagine, cause them to make a different set of calculations. Neil now the president has said congresswoman that something must have happened when the north Korean Leader had that second meeting with the chinese president because you could almost trace the timeline to the more bellicose statements to the more in your face remarks or the criticisms of john bolton and all of that, so how much behind the scenes is not even behind the scenes are the chinese playing and what do we do . I think the chinese are playing a huge role behind the scenes in this. I think that its important for the chinese to know theyve got to play a constructive role but im also frankly pretty skeptical theyre going to do that. I think that from their perspective they dont mind too much seeing us threatened thats obviously their policy theyve got a very clear and aggressive policy that has been one theyre been engaged in for a number of years now to diminish our strengths, to diminish our military superiority and diminish the role were playing particularly in asia but global ly and if they think that north korea threatening us helps achieve their objectives and their aims, then i dont see them being willing frankly to step in and play that kind of constructive role, so we have to make clear to the chinese that it is in their selfinterest not to continue down this path and that if the North Koreans arent stopped if the North Koreans continue their progress towards obtaining a nuclear weapon, then were going to be in a position we simply cant sustain and well have to look at alternatives including military action as the president has said nobody wants to do that but if the world doesnt come together and put the kind of very intense economic pressure on the North Koreans that really threatens their economy, and puts them back on the brink, then well be faced with an even tougher set of choices. Neil liz cheney very good see ing you thank you very much. Thanks, neil. Neil all right in the meantime, before there was Robert Mueller and donald trump there was ken starr and bill clinton and it got to the point where ken starr was ready to subpoena the former president to talk to him. It didnt come down to that but it came down to, well of course saying theres video testimony. That was then the stakes are very high right now. Ken starr on what Robert Mueller is up to, after this. Prudential asked these couples how much money do you think youll need in retirement . Then we found out how many years that money would last them. How long do you think well keep oooooohhh you stopped youre gonna leave me back here at year 9 . How did this happen . It turned out, a lot of people fell short, of even the average length of retirement. We have to think about not when we expect to live to, but when we could live to. Lets plan for income that lasts all our years in retirement. Prudential. Bring your challenges. But as it grew bigger and bigger,ness. It took a whole lot more. Thats why i switched to the spark cash card from capital one. With it, i earn unlimited 2 cash back on everything i buy. Everything. Whats in your wallet . To label someone as a spy when theyre a confidential human source i think is doing a disservice to these individuals but also the fbi. The president s use of the word spy, the correct phrase is confidential source, yet spy sounds more nefarious. He meant it to be nefarious. Latching on to this socalled spy issue. First of all theres absolutely no evidence there was a spy. He said theres political spies embedded in his campaign that is false. This isnt spygate but it is a form of liegate. Mr. President really no one except for you are calling it spygate because as i said theres no evidence or facts to support it right now. Spygate, a terrible thing, exclamation point. What the hell is he talking about . What is this . You are the former fbi director what is that . Best i can tell its made up i dont know where hes getting that from. Neil all right, im not a lawyer. Unfortunately, a very very good one ken starr to him in just a second here but i do know how to look up in the dictionary the difference between a spy and an informant as im told this person who penetrated the Trump Campaign in the fall some say dating back to the spring of 2016 is defined an informant is a person who gives information especiallily to accused or to cause suspicion about someone a spy as you can see on the right hand side of your screen a person who tries to secretly get information about a country or organization very very similar to me but again im not a special counsel who had ever interviewed a president of the United States and forced the issue by threatening a subpoena. Ken starr did that with bill clinton and hes alive to tell about it very good to see you sir. Thank you, neil good to be here. Neil first of all, the president calls it a spy and spygate, democrats say nothing of the sort, what do you think . Not much difference. People with quarrel over the difference. We tend to think of an informant as someone whose inside an organization and reporting out. A spy, we think of someone from the outside who comes in from the cold or whatever, but the point is, the person who the spy or confidential informant really doesnt know about the relationship that that individual has with the Foreign Government or whomever, so its a operation. Neil so someone who shouldnt be there is there . Well at least theres a question whether they should be there. Theres a certain false pretense , right . To the relationship. You think one thing, dealing with the confidential informant or the spy neil it penetrated the campaign not hired by the campaign. Correct. Neil so you can understand the Trump Campaigns concern . Absolutely. I think we can play these word games. The key is what are the facts and lets get the facts and assess the facts, and then in this country, we need accountability. Why was this done, what was the basis for it and so forth. Neil now when you finally were able to talk to president clinton, you had originally subpoenaed him to talk to you right . Well, no we originally invited him. We invited, very polite letters i believe in the respect for the presidency and we tried to follow that throughout the investigation to not only accommodate his schedule but accommodate the dignity of the president. Neil so you never subpoenaed him . Im sorry. We did issue a subpoena but we then through negotiation withdrew the subpoena. Neil certain allowances were made for him right that he could have his lawyers by his side and the testimony would be limited i think it was about four hours . Yes, yes. Perfectly reasonable and i think those are the kinds of accommodations that need to be made for any president. Neil sure so do you think these accommodations are being made right now in the talks between Robert Mueller and the president i have no information but i have little doubt you bet. Theres going to be a back and forth especiallily whats the scope of the inquiry. You hear the criminal defense lawyers who say, and i understand the perspective fully he shouldnt go to sit down with Robert Mueller but he is the president of the United States and so i think theres a certain need less to say obligation that attaches to that but well see what the president s are doing. I think rudy being on the team is extremely helpful. I have the highest regard for Rudy Giuliani but i think rudy is giving the president very good advice. Up, down or meshed settlement. Neil you know many people say its a mistake for this president to do it, and they point to the bill clinton example, where he thought he could control the process and some say he embarrassed himself. Do you agree not with the bill clinton thing but you were doing a lot of the questions but more to the point where the president is subjecting himself to this that it could veer into all sorts of directions . Thats what the defense lawyers have to prevent. Stop the veering. Our question was very targeted. It was sensitive but none the nonetheless was targeted. We werent asking about his personal finances and the like so it was understood and we abided by our agreement we simply wanted the president to tell the truth. I know Robert Mueller. I think muellers view is and i think the connecticut criticism about the people around him mueller needs the truth wants the truth and so if you do agree to go in, mr. President , please tell the truth. Neil all right, you made history in that interview and in that chat with this line of questioning, lets take a look. Did Monica Lewinsky perform oral sex on you . I would like a direct answer to that, yes or no. Well thats not the first time that questions been asked, but since i believe and i think any person reasonable person would believe that is not covered in the definition of sexual relations i was given. Im not going to answer except to refer to my statement. I had intimate contact with her that was inappropriate. I do not believe any of the contacts i had with her violated the definition i was given therefore i believe i did not do anything but testify truthfully on these matters. Neil that got out within minutes of that being finished, and it was proven that he had a very different definition of sexual relations than most would have, but be that as it may, did you know at that point this has made my case, that he lied, or your critics said did you pounce on something that was so lurid and unnecessary that it didnt make your case . It was a married guy covering up for an affair. The whole issue had to do with the rule of law and honesty , integrity in the rule of law thats what it was all about. The background was what it was just as it is in any Sexual Harassment case. Thats what the underlying case was about. Did the president of the United States engage in Sexual Harassment . In a very obscene way and then what did he do in that deposition . So the information comes to us. Weve assessed the information, we go to the attorney general of the United States, janet reno who then said this has to be looked into. Why . Perjury, obstruction of justice is very serious. Thats what were focusing on. Neil so he knew this question was coming . Hes very bright and he had great lawyers, so he had to know neil you were on a remote, okay he was in the roosevelt room for this interview right . No, we were actually in the map room. And i was there. Neil okay i misunderstood so when you went through the line of questioning and were done, did you, what did you conclude at that point . I mean if you think about it, the investigation started out looking at real estate, transactions, and all the rest, and it veered into a relationship with an intern. A lot of people looked back to your investigation, ken and say this investigation is veered similarly out of control from its original intent to look at russian collusion, to business deals that could be going back many years. Well first of all ours was not only not out of control, at every step of the way, we had the authorization of the special division of the court and they in turn were looking to attorney general janet reno so we were not operating in any way outside , i realize there are questions now in terms of the Robert Mueller investigation, but ours just took a logical and somewhat orderly progression from the 14 criminal convictions including a jury trial in arkansas, but there were relationships including now one of the things that people have i think forgotten is that the tragic death by suicide of Vincent Foster jr. , the last person in the white house to see him alive was linda trip. It was linda trip who had the relationship with Monica Lewinsky and the rest is all history. Neil and thats how it goes right . Without judging your investigation or even this one it does by nature go into areas that you didnt envision, but the president and a lot of his people feel, ken, that this one is now looking at areas that few could have envisioned his lawyer s offices and home gets ransacked his former Campaign Manager same thing. This is more than just collusion , right . Well these are very fair concerns. You always in this country want accountability, power can be abused. I was accused of abusing power and i said lets discuss that. Lets analyze that at times we would litigate that before courts, and in each instance we were found to be operating within our authority, so that question is always unfolding in the Mueller Investigation because he reports not to a special division or he reports to the Deputy Attorney general whose the acting attorney general. Neil well is your surface view of what mueller is doing ring true to you . Do you find any of this surpris ing or any of this odd . Some of it is surprising but i cant assess it because im in the black box, right . Because i just dont know what Robert Mueller knows. Neil many of the white house feel all these agencies from the fbi to the Justice Department on and on are out to get him. There is a sort of a kabol and the reason for them to feel paranoid is they should look over their shoulder certainly people in power at time we now know their positions but we didnt like them and theyve proven that. Does that influence investigations . It shouldnt but there are a lot of troubling issues that and one of the things that i wish we could do a reset on, neil, is the relationship between congress, both the senate and the house and respective committees and the doj and the fbi. I wish we could have a treaty of peace and say lets get all the information to them while protecting sources and methods, so government is sensitive but government has to be honest as well. Lets answer those questions. I cant answer them, but thats why we have our elected representatives with our oversight authority. The other thing is we shouldnt overlook the internal mechanisms especially the Inspector General whose report were waiting for that could be very very important in shedding light on what happened. Neil well you know they want an additional prosecutor to look into this spy issue and penetrating the campaign and all of that. What do you think of that . I think the Inspector General should handle it but i dont know all of the facts but given what i know, lets look to the Inspector General and then i think weve also seen the office of professional responsibility of the fbi also doing really honest and forthright job and thats their reputation. Neil what are your relations then and now with bill clinton . He was entirely professional , but since then weve not had any contact or communication. Neil he was reportedly very angry and embarrassed at the time, humiliated, it tested his marriage and a lot of people on the left said well thats what happens when the prosecutor goes way out of bounds. What do you say . The short answer to the out of bounds is look at what janet reno did when we brought the information to her, she said its got to be investigated, and we said, do you want it . And she knew that she couldnt take it. She being the department of justice. It had to be passed off to an independent counsel and at that time, we were the logical and appropriate outfit to take the very unpleasant task on, so its not something we were eager for. Neil are you influenced by and i always think of this if youre Robert Mueller or anyone on his team and i dont remember the degree to which bill clinton but certainly his surrogates did go after you, does that influence you . The bad part, the getting singled out or fingered for being abusive . Thats when you try to engage in selfdiscipline. Youve got to set that aside and just say what are the merits what are the facts whats the law and lets just play it straight down the middle of the fair way. Neil now you cant recommend impeachment obviously, republicans seized on your report to do that lying under oath as the catalyst but what would happen here in the Robert Mueller issues a report were told the president is not a target. What would that mean . Would there be other areas to pursue assuming thats the case, ken, where does that go . We have to see what bob reports to the Deputy Attorney general but its going to ultimately be a decision by the Deputy Attorney general of the United States not Robert Mueller Robert Mueller reports to Rod Rosenstein whose a person of great integrity taken a lot of hits but a person of great integrity and rod will call it the way he sees it. Neil which in your gut would be what . I have no idea because i dont know a lot of the facts i really dont. Its a bit of a mystery that sort of unfolds each and every day so how do you assess all of this and i learned a long time ago as a lawyer then as a judge, dont jump to conclusions. Neil all right one quick conclusion that was out there, in fact still is in the back of a lot of peoples minds if it gets a little hot the president is going to fire mueller, maybe fire rosenstein. What do you think of that, if that were to happen . I dont think it would be wise. First of all the investigation will go forward. I think in some form or another it may switch over then to capitol hill because weve had a Committee Chairman of the president s party saying we want this to go forward. We had the Senate Majority leader saying very recently that based on the briefing he thinks that these investigations should go forward, and so they will in some form or another. Neil do you think the russians turned this election this last election . Absolutely not. I think its silly and preposterous. I say that as a citizen. Absolutely silly. The more we find out about what was animating people theres just this and you see this almost globally, where theres a Representative Democracy people are really ready to say there is a swamp and wherever it is, and we want some people to come in and clean out the swamp. I lived in the swamp for 30 years i have a more benign view of the men and women who serve in government day in and day out , but i think that was the politics people wanted the old regime out and they didnt want a restoration of a regime they had seen however successful or unsuccessful it had been years before it. They wanted a fresh start somebody would come in and shake things up and thats what the American People got. Neil are you surprised that bill clinton rebounded the way he did, not only through the last couple of years of his presidency but even today, arguably one of the most successful financially after leaving office, and held in very very high regard by a lot of americans. No, he really is the come back kid. He showed again and again, incredibly resilient and obviously very skilled. David marinus, of the Washington Post and his biography of the president first in his class, put it very well. Hes first in his class. Hes valedictorian in terms of the political class. Neil after that im always curious after the four hour ordeal for you im sure, how did it end up and how did you leave each other . Well actually the president s credit came back in after that most unhappy interview and shook everyones hand. Neil yours included . Mine included. He is so extra neil extra hard . I didnt have to go to the orthopaedic surgeon afterwards so no, it was obviously something that he felt he needed to do. The relational powers of William Jefferson clinton should never be underestimated. Neil ken starr a bit of history from the form general independent counsel that was then a lot of people say a lot of the same drama behind the scenes today Different Cases of course. Well have more after this. Sfx muffled whistle text alert. Im your phone, stuck down here between your seat and your console, playing a little hidenseek. Cold. Warmer. Warmer. Ah boiling. Jackpot.

My daughter kayla was a beautiful girl. She had dreams and they took that away from her. Thats not right on how these kids were murdered, tortured. Its unacceptable. We should not be tolerating this behavior at all whatsoever. Neil you know a lot of politicians were talking about ms13 all the way up to the president of the United States but that hit home from me just hearing from mom Evelyn Rodriguez, her husband freddie, dad talking about little girl kayla, 16 years old at the time, who was beaten to death by ms13 members. I can not imagine they are both here with me right now. Thanks for coming guys. Thank you for having us. Neil there was a back and forth on this about whether theyre animals or not, forget about those who extended this characterization the president made to all the legals which he was talking about ms13 but do you characterize the people who did this to your daughter as animals . Yes. No human, i mean, the way my daughter was murdered was un describable. I mean, just to imagine what they did to her and anissa is just, theres no words that can even put it and i think using the word animals is being kind. Neil could you tell me i dont want to go back in a difficult time for you. Sure. Neil what happened . How did this all happen . Predominantly it started in the school. The bullying, the an antagonizing, her feeling the discomfort of how they were coming towards her, their approach towards her and her standing strong, and fighting back and not tolerating it as well as a human being that she was. Neil were they targeting her . Were these gang members in her school and area . Absolutely. Neil and shed go back to you and say this is going on and what would you say . Id been going back and forth with the School District for two years in regards of her being targeted, bullying, attacked, pushed, spit on, in school, and they told me they were going to be taking care of it, each time there was a meeting setup, they would say the same thing, and nothing was. They pretty much lied in my face neil so they were treating this like a bullying incident but did you know at the time about ms13 or that this was a very different type of group or what . Well, it was actually it was pretty much known within the community who they were. Neil really . And what not and they kind of started from like 2002, but you know, the actual crimes and everything and them starting to come out was really like between 2005 and present. Neil i understand the gang was recruiting more at your daughter s school, right . Yes. Neil and how would they recruit them . They would beat them up, they would bully them to join, but kayla was a strong girl. She didnt tolerate that behavior. She stood her ground. She made sure that, i mean, to walk into your school like when i used to drop my daughter off in the morning at school, you can just see her behavior, her personality change. It warsaws like always watching her back and when she used to call me or text me, mom come and get me its not a good day. I used to run up to the school and pickup my daughter and from there id have my meetings or my talks with the School Administration and they tell me they will handle it they will take care of it. Neil was she afraid for her life . I think she was at the time before the whole situation occurred, because it was a specific threat, done by signal as far as neil weve since learned as you know far better than i, sadly, that theres a ritual to how these type of gangs ms13, more to the point work. That theyre members they do this as a right of passage and if you dont do it theyll hurt you. What did you learn about how this went down . On how my daughter was . Neil yeah. Theres still some answers that have not been i should say some questions that havent been answered. Its just crazy how the situation happened. I left my daughter, i went to work and i kissed her on the forehead, i gave her a hug. I come home from work and my daughters missing, so justine not knowing where your daughter is and your daughters not picking up the phone, you get these crazy thoughts in your head, what you see on tv and you just like nope my daughter doesnt miss curfew. Nope if my daughter is even two minutes away shes on the phone mom im two minutes away, and were calling and calling and calling no pickup and it goes into voice mail and first we thought that she lost track of time, you know kids playing the xbox, playstation, but for her to even be 1520 minutes late, its not like her, so we knew something was wrong right away. Neil it had to be very painful for both of you as a parent myself just to go forward and talk about this and i cant even understand all that youre going through and how you do this, but you did, and what was the reaction you got from the president and what he wants to do or is committed to do . Well, i appreciate him acknowledging there is a problem in long island with ms13. Hes the one who listened and opened the doors besides congressman king. Neil what did he commit to do to stop groups like this from penetrating the country . Yes that in the sense of giving the support to Law Enforcement in all levels, in what they need in order to catch these individuals and neil because youre not catching common criminals right . I mean its the whole different process right . Yes. Absolutely. Especially when the federal government is involved, so it takes the task force of like atf and fbi and et cetera and i. C. E. Everybody all in Homeland Security to create an agenda on how theyre going to tackle this matter. Neil youd been saying you dont want any other family to deal with what you folks have and i can understand that but i was surprised to learn that gang related violence inspired by ms 13 and groups like it is the Fastest Growing wave of violence in this country, still. Theyre the demon itself, when you look at these individuals its just seeing darkness. Theres like nothing there. Neil how are you doing now . One day at a time. Its still hard. Right now were supposed to be planning her graduation. Neil oh, my gosh. This year she was supposed to be graduating. Pod my niece and her. She had a good at are brude when it came to basketball. She did very well especially when we had her one summer, well two summers straight she was at danny greens basketball camp and she did very well. She took mvp, she was the first female to ever take mvp at that tournament and she was doing well and then i was counseled by danny green himself to tell me you know what . Youve got a star. Shes good. Neil amazing. Well you do her memory proud. I can not imagine, pretty Evelyn Rodriguez remembering kayla, and serving her and us, very proud. More after this. How much money do you think youll need in retirement . Then we found out how many years that money would last them. How long do you think well keep oooooohhh you stopped youre gonna leave me back here at year 9 . How did this happen . It turned out, a lot of people fell short, of even the average length of retirement. We have to think about not when we expect to live to, but when we could live to. Lets plan for income that lasts all our years in retirement. Prudential. Bring your challenges. Neil man oh, man was that an amazing couple the news goes on and the White House Press secretary Sarah Sanders confirm ing what we were already giving you wind of earlier in the show the white house for singapore will live as scheduled in order to prepare should the summit take place. Now were referring to the fact that the south and north Korean Leaders met overnight for a couple of hours along the Demilitarized Zone very few people saw this one coming maybe the president did but virtually no one else and now it seems an advanced team on the way to singapore here, theyre dotting the is and maybe crossing the t s and how would the markets react to that when it looked like this deal was falling apart and put off at a minimum the markets tanked, when it looked like there was a possibility they could get things done down the road they stabilized thats how much this market is a lot has to do with china as well the other player here, lets go go to jonas max ferris, jessica tarlov, and our own Charles Payne. Charles the market has been trading on the ups and downs of this ha . Charles it has and of course the market is sort of reflecting this sort of anxiety if you will because lets face it the world, the markets, washington d. C. Learn to live with a Nuclear North Korea and the north korea for a long period of time but then we all sort of most of us started to buy into the idea or the notion that maybe something is going to happen here. Maybe against all odds, maybe something really the olive branches, the overtures particularly from north korea, the meetings so the markets they react just sort of a signal if you were they dont collapse but they do come down and it is pretty evident that even now wall street will love to see resolution here. Neil what do you think . I think that the volatility index when you look at it its been at a four month low and that is the indication of where were going with this market and to Charles Point, weve seen this before. I mean were living in a time where negotiations fail they come back again this is the mo of our president , so when markets react so quickly, we just know around the corner theres probably going to be something that brings us back up again. Neil you know, i think markets are no different than just people, dominated by people and charles is a person and he trades and so you think about it , they like certain assurances that people wont blow each other up so it makes sense they would rally on the prospect thats good for peace right . Absolutely and for the quick turnaround we saw this a few week ago when the iran deal conversation was going on and trump enters and we were having the same conversation, market doesnt like the volatility of it not knowing whats going to happen once there is a resolution it calms down, and charles you were saying a couple days ago this volatility is actually masking a long term trend which is what we should be paying attention to here and charles a good Economic Trend we have a lot of good economic news. I must admit that, so i think thats really what you need to be paying attention to here. Im not sure about june 12 and it could be july 12 but i think at the end of the day, this will get done at some point in the next few months here, kim jongun seems very dedicated to getting this done, so that he remains safe and in control and neil what do you think of that, watch china as well maybe pulling some cards here. Look i think to investors this summit has always been one part Reagan Gorbachev one part rodman and kim jongun and im not joking but thats okay. You need a president whose half that to deal with this, gorbachev is no kim jongun hes crazy too so anyway the point is i think ultimately what china does with us and this is more important theres not a lot of economy so to say with north korea anyway its more other than for defense stocks which have done well because we have tensions with this country. I think is this going to be a tipping thing that will keep china not getting along with tariffs and that war that is very relative to the market and what youre seeing. Neil i think china dialed this back real quick didnt it . Charles oh, absolutely but ultimately lets face it without peace theres no prosperity and imagine a denuke larrized north korea and all the gains weve had against tariffs and particularly isis thats an amazing back drop for the entire world. Neil well be talking again guys just want to update you that these nfl protests that have been going on will continue to go on and apparently its all over the issue of not being able to kneel so some players have come up with Creative Ideas to ignore that but will that get them fined and worse, get viewer s even more ticked off .

One more way comcast is working to fit into your life, not the other way around. Dray, when he was younger, he loved to smile; and we knew he would need braces because his teeth were coming in funny. Thats when he had the bunny rabbits. We called him the bunny rabbit. Now, those are the same two front teeth, there, that they are now. Then dray ended up having to wear braces for 5 years because he never made it to appointments, because he was busy playing basketball. If he missed practice, he dont get to play in the game. This is the picture that was on the front page of the newspaper. All you can notice is the braces then, once he got to michigan state, he broke the retainer my bottom teeth, they were really crooked, and i just wasnt getting braces again. Smile direct club fits into my lifestyle so well. The liner is so great. Its easy to just grab it and go and then i can change on the road. I did photoshoots with my aligners in and you cant see them. I wish smile direct club would have been around when i was paying for them. I wouldnt have to take him out of school. I wouldnt have had missed work. Its like a great feeling to have good teeth. A smile is a first impression, thats why i think having a great smile is so important. Neil all right, i had a feeling this would not go down well especially for those protesting on be half of nfl players who dont like the new rules in effect that if you want to protest the National Anthem stay in the locker room in the clubhouse but dont be doing any kneeling outside during that big event. Lets go to former nfl player jack brewer played for the minnesota vikings, new york giants, philadelphia eagles, Arizona Cardinals you do not mess with this guy. All right, jack what do you think of all of this and what its creating amongst some players . You know, its unfortunate, neil because i think the message is continuing to be lost. We spoke about this before. The National Football league particularly the players should be commended. I mean think about it. Theres no other private business, no other corporation in america that has done more to advocate for all the injustices that are happening to so many underserved African American men around this country. I mean the National Football league has put millions of dollars behind the efforts of its employees. What other company has done that at the end of the day, the players have to realize, the public has to realize, these guys are at work. When i played the National Football league i was at work. There is no job in america that you can go into and protest your political views in the middle of your job. I mean, if we want to protest lets go to capitol hill. We have voices. We have millions of twitter and social media followers. We could talk about these issues and find Real Solutions without threatening to leave. This league has made so many millionaires African American men who have made millions of dollars and been able to go in and change their families, change their communities, why do you want to hurt that . Why hurt that . The lowing has lost 2530 , ratings are down, moneys being lost, why would you want to kill the golden goose . I dont get it. Neil you know the Golden State Warriors coach commented on this of the nfl theyre just playing to their fan base and just basically trying to use the anthem as fake patriotism. Nationalism and theyre scaring people, what do you make of that i think hes totally miss guided. Its really ironic, neil he makes a comment like that, but the nba and their players protest does not cost the league a dime. You dont see their guys going out in the middle of a court kneeling. Their viewership is not down its actually rising and so for him to say that, i mean youre comparing apples to oranges there. Ive got a lot of respect for steve kerr, tremendous amount of respect and the sad thing about all of this, people can argue and we can disagree, but at the end of the day most decent americans, most of us who are fighting this good fight, id go out in these schools and id advocate in the community. We all want the same result. We just have a different way of going about doing it. We need to come together and put our focus on actually going into these communities helping these young black men, reestablishing discipline in our schools instead of showing these kids that we can protest against our job and disobey, you know the rule of law, lets teach kids about law and order again. You know, we have a lot of crisis going on in our country and it starts at home it starts with parenting but you cant do that when everything that happens around you, you want to go against the rule of law. Every job in america and people at your home is watching this show right now think about it. Can you go into your workplace right now and start protesting your political views . No. Youll get fired. Neil i dont know what happened with you at fox but i know at the jobs that ive had, if i go in and start protesting my political views theyll kick me out of the place so lets be realistic about this whole debate. Neil they get mad at me for breaking into the vending machines but thats a separate issue but i did want to ask you about what happened to the players who try to find a way around this and one idea thats all right we wont do the kneeling thing well either hold arms thing or something that wont be as obvious but you know what theyre doing. What do owners do in that event what does the nfl do in that event . Well you know the nfl is given a choice, the nfl is not forcing players to stand for the anthem if you dont want to stand for the anthem stay in the locker room, when i played in the National Football league we didnt even come out for the National Anthem but you know, if guys want to raise their neil youre right. Thats a recent thing isnt it . Yeah, it hasnt always been there if you want to raise your fist raise your fist in unity because we need to get the voices out and stand up for those that are voiceless and continue to do it but theres a time and place for it and last year i was all for the players kneeling if they wanted to it was their choice but the rules were not in place and now the rules are in mass and youve got to abide by the rules first. Rule of law should be what is really overseeing it all and i think hopefully these guys will all calm down and understand that they do have a huge huge asset here and its called the National Football league and the National Football league is good for black people and the National Football league is making a lot of black millionaires who can take those resources into the community and actually find solutions for these crazy problems, and lets get the messaging back right. Lets go back to our kids and show them that they can respect Law Enforcement because these neil oops, have a problem there thats jack brewer speaking his mind. I always knew he was a very good athlete he seems like a pretty good decent human being as well. So well keep an eye on that again more protests planned this weekend and throughout next week youre probably aware that the k north and south Korean Leaders met overnight along the militarized zone and now an advance team is headed out to singapore potentially dotting is and crossing ts on june 12th as previously scheduled. Lets go to former secretary of state for george bush. What do you make of these developments . I think were in a watch and see moment here. This is a long game and you have to remember that were dealing with a country for the last 68 years has become more and more virulent in the process, a slow process walking them back, a stop and go, stop and go, its a long game and what youre seeing, i think that President Trump and mike pompeo and the entire team is really thinking about creating new thinking, and thats what we want here. I mean, weve seen weve seen developments we havent seen in decades occurring right now. We watch closely and we go move to move, man to man and see where it takes us. Neil you know, secretary, i get an idea as angry as they were getting, that is the North Koreans and by extent, the chinese at the trump administration, i dont think in as many years, the president would turn around and say the hell with it, were not having the meeting and could have caught them off guard. What do you make they were not prepared for that, much like the Old Soviet Union wasnt ready for Ronald Reagan walking out of the conference with mickhail gorbachev. You know, thats apt and appropriate. And this is a chess game and the president has kept them off balance and china off balance. Think about it, from the beginning, he breaks the glass and starts talking in pretty strong terms about the reality that no president recently has talked about, in a way that really makes people sit up and listen. The next thing he does, when kim jongun suggests a summit, within 24 hours he accepts it. Thats like you start a chess game, pawn to pawn and all of a sudden you castle. Thats completely different and now youve done it again. He said, you know what, if youre not serious, im not serious. We can go about creating more pressure, go about talking how the future will look without this summit. All of a sudden, they didnt want that discussion and i think that china, believe it or not, is actually being edged in the same direction, but it takes a long time to walk people back from something where their identity is tied up in nukes. Neil you know, youre the diplomacy expert, certainly, im not. Im curious about the role china is playing here, secretary, because china is a very wealthy nation and a wealthy benefactor and, yet, all the economic pressures is on us to help the North Koreans and not the chinese. And that just seems screwed up to me. Well, the chinese right now, really 90 of the north korean economy depends on china. In one way or another. Neil right. So theyre clearly very tied at the hip here, but the other side of this is for the first time trump has said and hes saying it to china as much as to north korea, he said trade and security will be tied together and we are not happy and not content and will not be content with a country that has tested a 35 kiloton yield nuclear weapon, maybe, maybe even a 100 kiloton weapon which is what destroyed their mountain and an icbm up in orbit higher than the space station. Neil what do you think theyre doing that, on a threat of a canceled meeting for something. Trying to figure that out. I think theyre at the peak of an aframe. This was a flat roof until trump and now its an aframe. You will either accept the idea theres a goose that laid the golden egg thats willing to talk to you and give you benefits and move you from the dark ages into the bright light and willing to work with you, or youre going to see a ramped up, frankly, i suspect deterrent, military engagement, sanctions. Were not going to take anything off the table. All of a sudden, what was always hypothetical is suddenly very real, with donald trump, and this, to me, is the essence of how he operates. Hes putting reality on the table and saying with great authenticity, youre either with us or youre going to face the consequences of not being with us. And china, for the first time is seeing this. I would even argue, and again, youre the expert in the Business World and i would argue the zte piece here, everybody is objecting to, how could you get china keep the going going. Maybe theres a feint, within a feint and maybe theres a deeper understanding and i believe the tradeoff is very real. Ill take security and give china and north korea a little economic benefit. Neil and to do that, zte the big Chinese Telecom concern, that was spying on us and sanctioned up the yingyang, theres got to be a titfortat there, but too soon to tell. Mr. Secretary, thank you. Thank you. Neil well keep an eye on what the team headed to singapore is going to do. The is it wants to cross its the is you dot and the ts you cross. Well keep you uptodate. Whats happening in texas right now, the governor right now greg abbott hinting you could support some measures of gun control or at least reining in gun use in this state. His lt. Governor has a slight sli different perspective, or does he . Hes next. Prudential asked these couples how much money do you think youll need in retirement . Then we found out how many years that money would last them. How long do you think well keep oooooohhh you stopped youre gonna leave me back here at year 9 . How did this happen . It turned out, a lot of people fell short, of even the average length of retirement. We have to think about not when we expect to live to, but when we could live to. Lets plan for income that lasts all our years in retirement. Prudential. Bring your challenges. When it comes to strong bones, are you on the right path . We have postmenopausal osteoporosis and a high risk for fracture, so with our doctors we chose prolia® to help make our bones stronger. Only prolia® helps strengthen bones by stopping cells that damage them with 1 shot every 6 months. Do not take prolia® if you have low blood calcium, are pregnant, are allergic to it, or take xgeva®. Serious allergic reactions, like low blood pressure; trouble breathing; throat tightness; face, lip or tongue swelling, rash, itching or hives have happened. Tell your doctor about dental problems, as severe jaw bone problems may happen or new or unusual pain in your hip, groin, or thigh, as unusual thigh bone fractures have occurred. Speak to your doctor before stopping prolia®, as spine and other bone fractures have occurred. Prolia® can cause serious side effects, like low blood calcium; serious infections, which could need hospitalization; skin problems; and severe bone, joint, or muscle pain. If your bones arent getting stronger isnt it time for a new direction . Why wait . Ask your doctor about prolia. All right, well, the president was tweeting this morning about his heroic teacher in indiana who somehow managed to attack a student suspected of opening fire at an Indiana Middle School saying, and i quote, thanks to that great hero and teacher jason seaman for his heroic act saving so many lives. His quick action is talked about all over the world. With us right now, ever since the santa fe shooting, has at the governor, the lt. Governor of the state of texas. Glad to have you back. As always, thank you, neil. Neil maybe you can clarify a couple of things for me, sir, whether theres a slight difference or gap between your position on guns and the governors position on guns . Governor abbott seemed to be open in a variety of meetings he was having this week on this subject, post the shooting, to say that he would be open to some sort of action on guns. Didnt specify what they would be, but presumably he would look at stronger regulations for registering guns, et cetera, and speedier background checks if someone is deemed a threat, how do you feel about that . First of all, i was in all of those meetings, neil, with the governor and spent a long day yesterday, an emotional day with the families, two funerals and two visitations and i first want to tell you, neil, that texas is strong. We have endured a long ten months with the hurricane, the Church Shooting and now this shooting, and when we go to our knees its in prayers not because anyone is taking us to our knees and no one is going to do that to texas. These families are amazing and we have heroes here as well as you know from this week. In terms of guns, the governor and i work closely together and i think were the best team in america, on many levels for our economy and all the issues we face in texas, we have a robust state leading the country. On guns, were looking at common sense solutions. I said at the press conference on the first day, we need to be sure gun owners which i am, were held accountable to keep our guns out of the hands of children. In texas we already have a law that its a crime if you allow a child to get a loaded weapon. We may need to strengthen some of those laws, but if youre a gun owner, you have to be accountable to protect your guns and keep them away from children. So, were looking at that. Number two, were looking at making sure we have reports on stolen guns. We have a lot of guns stolen. We want to be sure we know where the guns are going, who may have them and we have a good reporting process and were looking at other time lines after someone, after due process, you know, in a court of law has potentially asked over their guns, how many days that is and of course, all responsible gun owners like we are, want good background checks. So i dont think theres any daylight, and i dont think theres going to be any other thought except that we need to protect people, but we need to protect our Second Amendment rights, both Governor Abbott and i are very firm on that, and and firm on keeping the age at which you can get the gun which is at 21, which i think is the case in texas now . There are a lot of things being talked about, neil, and the governor and i are working together through this weekend to layout a plan before School Starts again in late august, but when we met with the families this week, neil, here were the three things that they talked about most. Number one, they want to harden the targets at their schools. We can have all the Behavioral Health and Mental Health screenings and thats very important, thats going to be part of this, identifying the shooters in advance to the best of our ability, but we have to keep guns out of schools. We have too many entrances to our schools. Anywhere in america, you can walk in any door to a school. Even if you screen someone, if they have six or seven opportunities to get into a school with a gun, that makes a dangerous, so we have to look at that and harden these targets to the best of our ability. Obviously, plenty of efforts to get out, but they want our schools to be safer. Number two, they want more Law Enforcement. In texas we have over a thousand School Districts, neil, over five and a half Million Students almost in Public Schools in texas. 150 of our thousand plus School Districts with armed police already, School Police forces. We have another 172 districts, neil, that have teachers that carry. Weve had that law on the books, teachers can carry with training so that will probably be expanded. It was almost unanimous, neil, in the meetings, especially with the victims families that they want teachers trained to be able to carry. So, we need more Law Enforcement, harden those targets, keep the guns out of schools from those who would come in and harm others, sensible, as some of the gun issues i talked about and then, of course, a bigger focus on Mental Health issues on the students who could be potential killers. Neil you also talked earlier in the week, about violent video games and some allowing abortions, we dont have the final vote out of this country, and you said this sent a message of devaluing life, but all of these are in effect worldwide. If you look at violent video games, theyre provided almost everywhere, including our own country. The only differentiator, this is coming from gun opponents, that there are 3 million guns in this country and way, way too many. You say what . I say that guns in the hand of law abiding citizens protect us from those who would harm us. If you look at gun violence across america, in many areas, its down. In texas, about one out of every 17 or 18 people over age 21 have a license to carry. Neil youre right about the guns, but why does it happen so much here when the same force is at play and same about devaluing life and things you worry about and violent games, movies, et cetera, all pair mount across the globe, but why disproportionately here . Neil, i cant compare, and ive traveled to many places in the world and im not going to try and compare, its not apples to apples, Different Countries and different culture and family values and all of those issues. But, neil, someone has to step back and take a look at where we are as a culture. I did talk about how weve devalued life through abortion. Weve devalued life through the family unit, where many, many children grow up in a home without any father, any parent in charge, except maybe a really hard working single mom trying to play both roles and thanks god for them. And we have the estimates, by psychiatrists and psychologists, 95 of teenagers watch video games every day and more than half are violent games. And were in a very open society, much Larger Society than many countries you talked about where its a little easier to control the access and control some situations. Its not about the guns. No different than, you know, when someones killed by a drunk driver, we dont blame the car, we say weve got to get the guy from behind the wheel and get him to a program. Had not been for a gun in Sutherland Springs and that gentleman, steve, was with us talking to the parents and victims of santa fe. If it had not been for that gentleman and his rifle, that Church Shooter may have shot others. We believe in our right to defend ourselves, were not going to take that opportunity away from us to defend our families and our students and so we need and nothing is unanimous, neil, but the victims that ive talked to, the families ive talked to, the students ive talked to, the parents, go down the list and in our meetings this week, they want more Law Enforcement on our campuses, harder targets, make it tougher to get a gun in school and lets close the doors that anyone can walk in anytime and they want more teachers with training to be armed and were not backing away from our Second Amendment rights. Were seeing our Second Amendment rights will help protect more students and thats where the governor and i are definitely on the same page. Neil governor, thank you, very very much. Thank you, neil. A lot of heroes here, neil, a very emotional day yesterday and Strong Families standing on the rock of their faith and a Community Coming together as we saw in Sutherland Springs, as we saw during the hurricane, and now santa fe. Texas, theres something about texas. Neil and the gas prices as youre travelling, get used to it. They could go higher. Were on it after this. It took a whole lot more. Thats why i switched to the spark cash card from capital one. With it, i earn unlimited 2 cash back on everything i buy. Everything. And that 2 cash back adds up to thousands of dollars each year.

As mayor, he worked with Law Enforcement, and cut Violent Crime in half. Antonio for governor. Bit the hard way. Gone are the days of 2 a gallon gas. Were seeing it climb higher almost 31 higher compared to last year, who is paying the most when it comes to gas across the country . Starting with california theyre off in the winners, the average according to triplea, 3. 72 a barrel for regular gas. Why are you seeing that . Higher gas taxes. Followed by hawaii a few pennies shy of the price in california and then washington, so, youve got california, hawaii and washington, the three highest states. This comes before a long weekend, neil, like you just mentioned, 37 to about 40 million americans are getting into their cars and driving somewhere, hopefully somewhere nice, the beach this long weekend. We spoke to a bunch of them and found out what they said about the gas prices. This is god awful, luckily im trying a smaller car instead of my truck for a reason. I dont understand it, how they can justify it. Youre going to have to drive, dont have a reason. The last couple of days the prices jumped 30, 40 cents per gallon, yes, it has an impact on us. The Energy Information Administration Says right now over the summer, the average price of gas should hover around 2. 74 a gallon, thats about a fouryear high were seeing, definitely higher this summer, as you heard a lot of americans arent happy and statistics that say the higher gas prices are eating away at the benefits from tax cuts. What were seeing though, why is this rally in gas prices . A big part is because of the price of oil. Crude oil accounts for 70 of that uptick in gas. Whats happening with oil . Weve been seeing oil climb higher the last little while even before we pulled out of the iran nuclear deal. Why is that . Youre seeing lower supply inventories across the globe, particularly in venezuela, theres a lot of political unrest at the moment and they provide oil. And then, also, you see strong economies. The Strong Economy in the United States, strong economies across the globe, and so thats pushing up demand. More americans are buying massive suvs, that means more gas. And so, the democrats actually believe that President Trump is behind the higher prices. You have senator Chuck Schumer who actually spoke about this, listen to what he had to say. President trumps reckless decision to pull out of the iran deal has led to higher oil prices. Whatever meager benefit working families height might have seen from trumps tax scam for the rich is being wiped out by the gas prices that President Trump is responsible for. And this means the average price of gas right now is at 2. 98 according to gas buddy. Neil and funny about the schumer thing, actually adjusting the prices down. And weve got Charles Payne and jonas max ferris, and charles, the economy is lifting demand. Yesterday was a horrific day for crude oil, down the most in 11 months because saudi arabia and russia getting together and probably pump more oil so the big run we have may have made fallen here a little bit and consequently may see gas prices coming down. A part of this is the economic story, the demand side of it. The last time gas prices plunged we were in the midst of the great recession, we dont want to relive that either. Theres a happy medium somewhere, i think weve approached it. Neil people pay more for the gas and pay less when they go to the stores . I think in some markets, but weve seen this historically to Charles Point since the great recession. I remember in 2013 reporting on this. We saw, gasoline prices are high now, then we were seeing prices in california at 4. It was mindblowing there. And i think at that point people were a little more cautious, but we see the ebbs and flows. For the consumer, yeah, this weekend may be a little bit of a sticker shock, but overall longterm i dont think its going to have a huge impact. Neil i dont remember chuck or nancy going out in front of a gas station. Their favorite exxon, i heard. Neil when barack obama was president and prices were higher. I dont think that they took that trip then. But President Trump did tweet about it and blaming president obama for that. Theres a tweet for everything. An interesting point, that Chuck Schumer made in that presser there, about losing some of the tax benefits because of the high gas prices so if the average american middle class and low income family is going to make 1,000 because of the g. O. P. Tax plan and cutting a third of that with the rising gas prices will that have impact in the midterm. Its temporary, and were seeing gas prices when people are going out. Weve seen that reported widely and still go out on the road. And americans will drive, and its the holiday weekend, theyll go out and spend. Neil its the chicken before the egg. They got a tax cut and they have more money to buy the gas and not the price is going up and its taking away the money. Thats the schumer circular logic. Trump making the prices go higher iran is the last one. Neil how would he make them go higher. He cut taxes. Neil all right. Oil prices youre the guest, and come in on a saturday . Let me i will say im very excited about this, i want to plug the prices 15 to break even at the another agenda. And i will say for the schumer and democrats, this is the stuff against obama that makes no sense and did . Neil both parties play these games and charles alluded to something. The economy can bring problems, higher gas prices and caps off what the saudis and russians are doing and we can see higher Interest Rates and Mortgage Rates at sevenyear highs. Where do you see this going . With prosperity, listen, lets talk about inflation 101. Too much money facing too much goods. Its a fourletter word when we love when our paycheck inflates and our home prices. Neil you get a paycheck . Every now and then, its paper, by the way. The Jobs Associated with this. People need to think of oil as an american product, not saudi arabia, not russia, as an american product. We brought 11 new oil rigs online and an article in the journal, the best paying jobs are in biotech and crude oil, the best paying jobs in this conduct. Thats the point that heidi hi hidekamp, in north dak, crude oil is good for americans and we we should focus on its a hard time when its the right time to stand shoulder and shoulder with President Trump, and saying this is not good for our constituents. Letting venezuela collapse and providing us fuel did more for the price going up than anything we could do in iran. They let themselves collapse, they kicked out the americans. Neil most certainly did. That situation is what is driving our prices more than iran. Were not invading iran. After tomorrow they cant pump the fuel out of the ground in these economies. Neil looking at the big aerial view of consumers, shoppers, i think are the life blood of everything, do you see any of that affected by any of this . Well, to the point, when it comes to jobs within these oil rigs and in north dakota and stuff, this is what i look at. You know, when we see a decrease in jobs for oil rigs and oil jobs, thats what has an impact on consumer spending, its really interesting to see when those people dont, you know, they have job depletion, what ends up happening to how people are spending. So when we see these job creations happening, thats when i look at how people go into especially into the holiday. I know, its approaching june and this is what i start looking at now. When theres job creation, a higher spending, better economy. Yeah, when we focus on that in the domestic sphere, thats a positive thing. Neil guys, thank you very much, good, all of you. We had ken starr on earlier in t the program, he said, yeah, my investigation could have veered off course. Thats what happened to bob mueller. There was a distinction between what he was doing with bill clinton and what he thinks what bob mueller might be doing with trump. We are going to hash it out with an important judiciary Committee Member in the United States house of representatives, ron desantis, next. Fast food drive thru lane. But what a powerful life lesson. And dont worry i have everything handled. I already spoke to our allstate agent, and i know that we have accident forgiveness. Which is so smart on your guys part. Like fact that theyll just. Forgive you. Four weeks without the car. Okay, yup. Good night. With accident forgiveness your rates wont go up just because of an accident. Switching to allstate is worth it. First of all, the president called a spy and this is spygate. And democrats say nothing of the sort. What do you say . Not much difference. People can quarrel over the difference. And we tend to think of it informant inside the organization and reporting out. The spy we think someone who comes in from the cold or whatever, but the point is, the person who, the spier or confidential informer is dealing with, really doesnt know about the relationship that that individual has with the Foreign Government or whomof. So, its a clandestine operation. Neil you know, we go back and forth whether youre a spy or an informant or whatever and i drove home this point in this definition, that youre not someone who should be there. I think its safe to say, youre not someone who should normally be there. An informant is a person who gives information, especially accused or cause suspicion about something and drives information, especially about a country or organization or another country or organization, or for another country or organization. Its horrible and im reading that from far, i apologize. I dont see much of a difference there. I wonder if ron desantis who sits on the judiciary committee, what he makes of all of that. Someone who shouldnt be there, shouldnt be there, shouldnt be there. I see it, whether the president wants to call it spygate or others do it may be more akin to someone who shouldnt be theregate. Im wonder why we sluff that off, whether you like the president or dont like the president. The whole thing is weird. Its a big deal, neil. Here is the thing, if the fbi was paying this guy and directing him to make contact with Trumps Campaign because were told that they were concerned, this is the spring of 2016. A lot earlier than we even thought, because theyre concerned about russia trying to do bad things, well, why the heck wouldnt you have gone to the Trump Campaign and briefed them and said, look, were concerned about this, we want you to know this guy carter page or whoever theyre concerned about, dont let anything happen. They didnt do that. So the fact that they didnt give a briefing to the campaign to know, to let them know this this could be a problem suggests to me that the use of, yes, a spy was directed every bit as much against donald trump as it was against russia. Neil you know, congressman, some have told me that maybe they didnt tell them because they suspected they were part of the problem. You say what . Well, there was no evidence to support that and even today, two years later, this New York Times article even admitted theres not been any evidence connecting the campaign to any type of criminal conspiracy with russia. Thats just the bottom line. And so, it would have been much better to do that, and i think at every step of the way, i think they deliberately took aggressive investigative steps because i think that they did want to get the goods and, oh, by the way, at the same time this is going on, the fbis also running the hillary case with a lot of the same cast of characters, like peter strzok and at every step of that investigation instead of being zealous, they made disconnect and this spygate only adds to that. Neil and congressman, as i said earlier, the prosecutor whose original mission was to find real estate articles on bill and Hillary Clinton and into a relationship with an intern and some would question the and is that a reminder it would be a mistake for this president to submit himself to questioning by bob mueller or his team that these things can go out of control . Id advise the president not to submit to questioning. I think it probably would be a perjury trap, i think the president could handle himself well. For me, its constitutional. A president may be able to be subpoenaed in had certain cases, you have bob mueller, an inferior office, and he wants to subpoena the president to conduct oversight over article two of the constitution . I dont think that will fly on separation of powers grounds. I think it would be a bad precedent to let inferior offices in your government second guess president ial Decision Making unless theres somehow some obvious evidence this is some part of criminal enterprise, but theyve not been able to produce that at all. Neil congressman, very good seeing you again, thank you. Thank you. Neil all right. In the meantime, we know this is memorial weekend and there are barbecues and sales and big events and we understand that, but its also about remembering the people who served this country and continue to serve this country and perhaps no one has raised more money or helped them in many different ways than wayne newton, mr. Las vegas. You know him for his shoes, theyre outstanding, if you go to las vegas and dont see it, shame on you. You dont know the other side of wayne and what he does for people with very little notoriety. Hes next. Irement . Then we found out how many years that money would last them. How long do you think well keep oooooohhh you stopped youre gonna leave me back here at year 9 . How did this happen . It turned out, a lot of people fell short, of even the average length of retirement. We have to think about not when we expect to live to, but when we could live to. Lets plan for income that lasts all our years in retirement. Prudential. Bring your challenges. If you have not been to las vegas, or even if you have and you missed a wayne newton show, shame on you. Many years back i was urged to see wayne newton in concert. I did. You know, i followed up three other times to see his show. Its remarkable. Hes remarkable. I dont know are he gets his energy from, but i do know its a hell of a show and gives a hell of a lot back to his community and joining us on the show, mr. Las vegas and more, wayne newton, very good to have you. Hey, neil, excited to be here, thank you. Neil this memorial weekend, your whole youve given a great back to the uso and other military groups and in fact it comes up a lot. This is an issue since you were a very young guy, youre relatively young guy, but whats the deal . I actually did my first show for the uso when i was eight years old, im from virginia, and they had seen me sing somewhere and president truman was in his last couple of months and they were honoring it was the usos birthday and they were honoring mrs. Truman and the president was very upset about that. [laughter] now, he when you do these events, you know, its at a time where this president is trying to recognize the military more, theres been a big increase in defense spending, and hes talking about making america proud again, great again. What do you think about all of that . I think its fabulous. I think its long overdue, and considering what some of the past administrations have done to our military, it was pretty shameful. So, when you hear about the crashes of the helicopters and the jets and those kind of things simply because they werent taken care of, where this president is making sure that they are. Neil what is it like in vegas now . I mean, a lot of people have talked about how it reflects the economy and things of better now, people are more pro predispose and in vegas case we remember the tragic shooting. What is it like in this case . The truth is our city, neil, is very resilient and one thing with that terrible thing that happened on october 1st, last year, the one positive thing, if you can find anything positive in that, was the world became aware of the incredible people that live in this town and they have been incredible my whole life. I came here at 15, and they are very resilient and vegas strong, its called and of course, i have to say in all candor that our brand new hockey team, the Vegas Golden Knights have served us well in a time when it was needed. Neil and last time actually the first time we talked, vegas was pursuing a hockey team and i said, its 200 agrees here, what are you doing with a hockey team, now theyre in the stanley cup. What did i know . Well, i think that that could have been probably almost everybodys reaction when we heard that there was a hockey team coming here because the one thing you dont think about in vegas when its 120 is going ice skating, so you defied the odds. Defied the odds. [laughter] how is the entertainment portion, youve done in excess of 125,000 shows. Its got to wear on you, but you keep doing it. The truth of the matter is i do it because i love it. My mother told me an old cliche a long time ago, if you pick something that you love, its never a days work. And i am thats been my motto, my entire life. I look forward to going to work, it gives me a reason to wake up and its wonderful to see the smile on peoples faces. Neil when you look at entertaining today and, of course, its gotten pretty risque, not only in that city behind you, everywhere, people are fast and loose with the language, youre not. So i think it was one reviewer says you harken back to a different, simpler, kinder, gentler time, i think ive got the rough words right. Do you, do you feel maybe im missing out on all of stuff with inyourface entertainers . No, i see and hear that kind of vulgar language spewed about on national television, in person or whatever, that was not the era that taught me that when youre on stage, you dont challenge peoples beliefs, you dont challenge their religion, you dont challenge their politics. Youre there to entertain them and im not sure that that kind of vulgarity does it. Neil how many president s have you known . You talked about harry truman in your earliest days as a kid. Youve known almost every one since . I have known every one since and i met president truman that night. I think i have known somewhere in the neighborhood of eight president s. It doesnt go back to lyincoln r any of those days. Neil i was going to say, how was he . That would be a tough crowd. Right now, you talk about the economy and you touched on this before, but it does seem to be rebounding and there does seem to be pent up Energy People spending, but when we talk about higher gas prices and moving up, and indications of a Strong Economy. Do you worry that the fan base might be effected and things slow down, what . Not really. I think the world, at least those who come to see me are very positive of about, the economy. I was discussing it with my wife even this morning that there are practically no homes for sale left in las vegas. Neil really . Because the academy has rebound and of course, you see it in all of those ways that you just enumerated. Neil youre going to keep doing this forever, arent you . Yes, i am, im going to keep doing it until people dont come to see me anymore, then i wont bug them. Ill stay home. Neil i dont think you have to worry about that, every show sold out. I have something for you. I have something for you, neil. This is the tshirt that the uso is selling online, and you can go to uso. Org and order it. It was voted on by all of our military personnel as the uso tshirt for the fourth of july. Neil that one is awesome. Im going to send this to you. Neil does it couple in a quadruple large . Well talk about that. Thank you, wayne for all you do, well have more. You, too, my friend. God bless you. See you soon. Im carl and im a broker. Do you offer 4. 95 online equity trades . Great question. See, for a full Service Brokerage like ours, thats tough to do. Schwab does it. Next question. Do you offer a satisfaction guarantee . A what now . A satisfaction guarantee. Like schwab does. Man scoffing what are you teaching these kids . Ask your broker if they offer awardwinning full service and low costs, backed by a satisfaction guarantee. If you dont like their answer, ask again at schwab. All right. Officially starts on june 1st. Alberto our first hurricane of the season is revving up in the gulf. Rick reichmuth is keeping track. June 1st is a calendar date. Here we are its a subtropical storm. Its a tropical system and moisture. The center is down here kind of between the cancun area and over towards the western part here of cuba. You can throw weather eight up here behind me here and that will be helpful for me. Western cuba seeing most of the energy from this, as well as Energy Moving in across parts of florida. The storm is very lopsided the center of it right there. But you dont see any of the action going on in the center and everything there you go, thats the maps i needed. The energy is off to the east and thats probably going to remain that way throughout the life course of this storm and its going to continue to pull off to the north. As it does, it will likely strength and little bit and not much guidance because its a hurricane. It might be a Strong Tropical Storm across the central gulf. There is the biggest impact to the east where we had the rain. Weve had rain showers across florida and incredible amounts through the month of may and so, because that ground is so saturated expect to see the potential for some pretty big flooding. This is the future radar here, this takes the route sunday in towards monday and notice it looks like the potential to kind of stall out there and because its going to stay, its going to bring the rainfall total higher and its going to bring continued rainfall. This takes us sunday, monday, tuesday and a lot of areas across the southeast, even to the carolinas will see moisture from this, some spots, three to five inches, across especially Western Shores here, and the heaviest of the rainfall will be in florida, as well as toward the panhandle and somewhere in the mississippi and alabama, we cant say exactly where, but we know there will be spots there and heavy rainfall. Maybe some isolated spots up to ten inches, and that will cause localized flooding and obviously people want to be out at the beach this weekend and handle the beautiful beaches, not a great weekend, the unofficial start of summer. Neil rick, thank you very much. Great job with the barbecue guy, he gets the barbecue and i get to look at it. I feel it now, trust me. Neil make me feel guilty. That will do it here again and well keep you updated on the overtures the North Koreans are making, sending a team to singapore. It could be on. Well know later. Fox news continues. Well see you monday. Playing a little hidenseek. Cold. Warmer. Warmer. Ah boiling. Jackpot. And if youve got cutrate car insurance, you could be picking up these charges yourself.
